Things are quiet this time of year up here in the ice and snow, the lack of sunlight, the low temps.

I frequent several other motor-sports forums...mostly the 2 wheeled type.

There is a long running thread up in one of them that is a constantly contributed to. It feeds that particular group. I thought it may be cool to have this local forum get a similar one up and running.

It is......what are you listening to?

Music is a huge part of my life. I love music. I can't truly live without it. I listen to it on my laptop, on my garage stereo, in my baddASS SloPOKE installed system in the Bugeye, and on my I-PHONE when I am working or even when I am riding the APRILIA.

Music is important, it feeds the soul, it can lift a heavy heart, it can soothe your pain, it can get you pumped, it can help you forget your sorrows, it can wake you up, put you to sleep....change your mood, or shift your paradigm.

I've lived longer than most of you. I have been following music for a longgggggggg time, the genres, the styles, the classifications. Fads come and go, classics endure.....tastes refine.

I have a huge database nearing 700GB from purchased music. I enjoy selections from each genre, age, and area. It has been soooo cool to do this all my years, from age 10 or so onwards. I have vinyl, cassette tapes and CD's from my youth on up to present day. It has been so cool raising my younguns too, listening to what they listen to, enduring the teeny bopper stuff (from my daughter), the death metal (from my teenaged boy). Being introduced to something you normally wouldn't listen to and getting you out of the rut you may happen to be in.

I am not doing this to fill space but to provide a service to our local NASIOC community. I hope that the mods will allow this...If not, I totally understand.

So here goes.
Some of you know that I am originally from Florida. I lived in the south till I was 27 or so. I heard some great bands live. One of the best that never made it too big on the national scene was STRANGER. I get homesick this time of year. I am hungry to hear the sounds of my roots.

Their debut was in 1982. yes, I am that old. I graduated high school in 1985. They were local legends. They were huge on the local club scene and played often at a club called "DUBS"...where member of the the Eagles, Bob Seger and Tom Petty got their starts.

I'll try to help keep this thread alive too. Used to be one like this on another forum that's gone now that I enjoyed. I tend to enjoy anything and everything, the one thing I can't stand is country... oh, and teenybopper crap.

I have 978 GB of music, if anyone needs some music. If digital music isn't your forte, I have about 300 CD's you could borrow...lol

Needless to say, I love music.

Anything 1990s rock music is my favorite. Especially in the "grunge" era. I am a sucker for all the 1980s cheesy pop music too. I've yet to find anyone up here up to school on the 80's pop culture as I am...

I've always said I was born 10 years too late. I know too much about the 80's for my own good, it was like I lived through high school through the 80's, but I was just a kid. I have my mom to thank for that. She was always listening to music everywhere she was.

Right now, I'm enjoying listening to any of the internet radio stations I can get on my iPhone...mainly once again 80s pop and 90s rock. Sometime there's some rap in there to cure the inner gangsta in me...lol

I can pretty much listen to anything but screamo death metal, country, and electronic/techno.

Where'd your music go that you made Nomad? I wanted to listen to it and it got lost by the wayside.

I was hurt from a motorbike accident approx. five years ago. I had about 5 months off from work with a nasty tibial plateau fracture. I had a bunch of time on my hands. The garageband feature/application had just come out on Apple computers. I had some DJ/keyboard/synthesizer training in my younger years and am still an avid music collector. I made several tunes over the course of those months. I recently was sharing these with some musician friends of mine back on the east coast and found a site that hosts MP3's. I thought I would share these with you folks.

They are all copyright free individual instrument loops that I put together with the program.

Turn it up......LOUD....if you have a sub and like techno style music....these should put a smile on your face.

Damn that 100.9! I only have an old FM radio in my bathroom, but it's pretty much blaring 100.5 anytime I'm in there. Sometimes 100.9 broadcasts from a tower that is about 500' from where I am right now. When they do that it drowns out anything within about 5 degrees up and down the spectrum. 100.5 is totally gone when they do that and 106.5 goes all crappy and weird... Luckily they don't broadcast from this tower much, but sucks when they do. As already stated above, I can't stand country, it makes me want to gouge my eyes out with the pointy end of my back brush!

Anyhoo, here's what I was listening to right before bedtime here: Southern Culture on the Skids - Camel Walk. These guys are pretty popular with hot rodders, but not much outside that circle.
